OBJECTIVE：To understand the situation of healthcar e workers’occupational exposure of hazardous drugs （chemotherapeutic drugs and antiviral drug ）and relative cognition level ，and to provide reference for improving the level of occupational protection. METHODS ：During Oct. 2018 to Mar. 2019，healthcare workers from 12 hospitals of different levels and different departments in Shaanxi province were selected as respondents to conduct a self-designed questionnaire survey. Information we surveyed contained baseline characteristics ，hazardous drugs exposure ，physical health status ，and occupational protection. Valid questionnaires were collected and analyzed statistically. RESULTS ：A totally of 1 848 questionnaires were sent out ，and 1 767 questionnaires were collected ，including 95 were pharmacists ，100 were physicians ，and 1 572 were nurses. The frequency of diarrhea and menstrual disorders in healthcare workers with long-term exposure to antiviral drugs （antiviral drug exposure group ） and cross-exposure to antiviral drugs and chemotherapeutic drugs （cross-exposure group ）were significantly higher than unexposed group （P＜0.05）. The incidence of routine blood abnormalities in cross-exposure group ，antiviral drug exposure group and healthcare workers with long-term exposure to chemotherapy drugs （chemotherapy drug exposure group ） was higher than unexposed group by 9.13％，5.50％ and 12.34％，respectively. 84.7％ of the respondents had little knowledge of hazardous drugs ， and 8.15％ of the respondents had never received occupational protection training. Additionally ，the ratio of healthcare workers receiving occupational protection training in the cross-exposure group was significantly higher than unexposed group （P＜0.05）， and the ratio of healthcare workers receiving occupational protection training in antiviral drug exposure group were significantly lower than unexposed group （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS ：Long-term exposure to hazardous drugs will cause certain occupational hazards to healthcare workers. It is necessary to improve healthcare workers ’awareness of self-protection ，increase the input of hospitals in occupational protection training and establish occupational protection standards in order to improve the current situation of occupational protection of healthcare workers.
